Abstract
The Urban Sector Rehabilitation Project
(URSP) consisted of a large program of infrastructure
rehabilitation works and institutional reform activities
covering 8 project towns - Arusha, Iringa, Morogoro, Mbeya,
Moshi, Mwanza, Tabora and Tanga. Additional investments in
Dodoma and Dar-essalaam were, in comparison, of limited
scope and complexity. The project with a Credit of US$ 141.3
million equivalent was implemented by the government between
1997 and 2004. The project objectives were sustainable
economic development and urban poverty alleviation through:
(i) rehabilitation of basic infrastructure and expansion
into high-priority, underserved areas; and (ii) improvement
of urban local government management and financing capacity
by (a) strengthening the financial, technical and overall
operations of the urban local authorities through training
and technical assistance; and (b) encouraging private sector
and community involvement in urban services delivery and
operation and maintenance.
